Based on my own personal reflections, and on a scale of 1-10
(ten being optimal wellbeing), how do I rate my:
A.
Physical wellbeing
is rated an 8 because I feel there is always room for improvement, but I also
feel I have, at this point in time, achieved optimal physical wellbeing to the
best of my abilities.
B.
Spiritual
wellbeing is rated a 9 on this scale of optimal health. Again, there is
always room for improvement and growth so I continue to have an open mind and
grow more spiritually each day, while maintaining my current level of spiritual
wellbeing.
C.
Psychological
wellbeing is rated a 9, as well. At the risk of being redundant, again,
there is always room for improvement and growth. These processes are ongoing
throughout life and with continued practice I will one day achieve a score of
10 on this scale of optimal psychological wellbeing.
A.
A goal for improved physical wellbeing is to
continue my daily exercise program, eating right, and finding activities that
are engaging and provide opportunity for increased physical wellness.
B.
Spiritual growth can be improved with continued
practice of self-love, love for others, and a love for all mankind; being non-judgmental,
forgiving of all including myself, and practicing loving-kindness will serve as
a goal for improvement and growth spiritually.
C.
Psychological development can best be served
with a goal of continued mindfulness and awareness of my thoughts, words, and
actions; and this can be accomplished with daily meditations and constant
awareness of the reactions my body is having to any particular situation,
knowing I have the ability to choose my reactions and that intention will help
me to make the right choices.
Listening to the relaxation exercise titled The Crime of the Century was extremely
relaxing for me physically; calming for me psychologically; and provided me a clear
mind with the ability to remain calm and still, yet energized and ready to face
my responsibilities at hand. This exercise was short, but powerful for me. It
is a great example of how to take a very short period of time for one’s self
and turn it into a powerful ability to better face daily life from a healthy
perspective, not one full of stress and anxiety. I would recommend this
exercise for those with a need for guided meditation, as it is simple to follow
and provides great benefits physically, spiritually, and psychologically.
Yours in health,
Marcella

Hi, Marcella!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate what you had to say about "forgiving all, including myself." I find it hard at times to forgive myself...I can keep playing things over and over in my head!
Thanks for this gentle reminder :)
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Marcella,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear someone else acknowledging loving others without judgement. I think this aspect of spirituality is, for some, the hardest to accomplish. Good for you! We need more to think like you. Forgiving (whether it's to ourselves or to others) is the most powerful and enlightening gift we have to give! When I say that I've forgiven someone who has "done me wrong" friends look at me like I have two heads...they don't get that the forgiveness fills your heart and soul with love (and, I tell them, it takes up too much of my precious time to hate!). Hopefully, giving my body, mind and soul more room for healing!
Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom.

Marcella,
ReplyDeleteWhen you said that you were already at high levels, but that there was still room for improvement I was reminded of the Principle of Evolution and encourages constant growth. It's good to keep putting goals out there for each of the areas when you reach one. I don't think integral healing is reaching goals as much as it is seeing how far you can go.
